Quiz
The p-wave in an ECG stands for
(Required)
Atrial depolarization
Ventricular depolarization
Ventricular repolarization
In a normal ECG, the QRS complex is?
(Required)
Narrow
Bizarre and wide
There is no QRS complex in a normal canine ECG
AV-Block III means
(Required)
The electrical conduction from the atria to the ventricles is completely blocked. P-waves and QRS-complexes appear in a completely independent way, P-waves are not followed by associated QRS-complexes any more
a tachycardic arrhythmia with wide QRS-complexes
No p-waves are visible on the ECG
Sinus tachycardia
(Required)
Is always an indication for beta blockers
occurs frequently secondary to fever, pain, anemia, excitement…
Is a sinus rhythm at a high heart rate
Ventricular premature complexes are usually
(Required)
Wide and bizarre
Narrow
Extremely narrow
Supraventricular premature complexes are usually
(Required)
Narrow
Wide and bizarre
Extremely wide and bizarre
Atrial fibrillation
(Required)
Is characterized by a irregularly irregular sequence of beats
Does not exist in dogs
Does not exist in cats
A sick sinus syndrome
(Required)
Is a bradyarrhythmia, sometimes associated with tachycardic episodes
is always an incidental finding and does never require therapy
cannot be detected by a surface ECG
One way to calculate the heart rate in an ECG recording is
(Required)
Count the QRS complexes over 15 cm and take them times 20 if the paper speed is 50 mm/s
Count the QRS complexes over 15 cm and take them times 10 if the paper speed is 25 mm/s
Count the QRS complexes over 7,2 cm and take them times 122344 if the paper speed is 100 mm /s
In a normal canine ECG
(Required)
Every P-wave is followed by a QRS complex
There is a P-wave in front of every QRS complex
There is a z wave in front of every RTZ complex
Δ
